    The various female characters in Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis exemplify multiple different roles of women in society. Marji’s family line, being her grandmother, her mother, and herself has a strong sense of individuality that personifies them as being equivalent to the men who live in their society. In contrast, minor female characters, such as Marji’s teachers, emphasize the developing oppressiveness of society after the Iranian Revolution. Whereas many of the major female characters in the book manage to maintain their strong personalities and senses of individuality, the societal norms seen in the book unquestionably view women as inferiors. Particularly after the Revolution, the society that Marji grows in has oppression towards women embedded in it.…

    On page 76, during the protest, the people involved chanted the words, “Guns may shoot and knives may carve, but we won’t wear your silly scarves!” The demonstrators refused to obey the government’s strict rule of wearing the veil, and since they did not allow the people to have a voice, it resulted in these ongoing, public protests. Since the government did not allow the people to make their own choices during the time, they were not able to do anything to get their point across, except rebel. It was their only form of sending a message to the government to complain about not sharing their authority with the people, and not making decisions without addressing the people first. Looking at these acts or rebellion, the author, Marji, is trying to teach us about the idea of personal power and self-control.…
